Call bingo, somehow overlooking a line but getting very simple "house" (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

log cabin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'house' is the definition.
(log cabin is a kind of house)

'call bingo somehow overlooking a line but getting very simple' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'line' could be 'log' (log line is a kind of line) and 'log' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for log cabin that I've seen before include "Hut, as in the Wild West" , "Pioneer's hut" , "Type of chalet" , "Simple dwelling" , "Wooden home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
